Church of the Annunciation
Благовещенская церковь
A tall, multi-tiered bell tower church built in the 18th and 19th centuries, with gold domes and white walls. It is the most striking Orthodox landmark on the city center skyline.
The Church of the Annunciation was begun around 1804 and blends Siberian Baroque and Classical styles. Its tall, multi-tiered bell tower is visible from far across the old city center. During the Soviet era, its dome was removed and the building was repurposed, but in recent years the golden domes and interior murals have been restored. It is located on Lenin Street, within walking distance of the art museum and the Museum Centre Ploshchad Mira. Entry is free, and dress standards are the same as at other Orthodox churches.
